Brydon Carse and debutant Jacob Bethell led England to an impressive eight-wicket victory over New Zealand in the first Test in Christchurch.
That left England a target of only 104, which they reached inside 13 overs for a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Bethell, the 21-year-old, hit the winning runs in his 37-ball unbeaten 50. Chris Woakes enjoyed a rare away moment of success with crucial wickets on the third evening and England even managed a victory without relying on Joe Root, who was out for a duck in the first innings. Instead, Harry Brook made 171 to take his overseas average to 89, behind only Sir Don Bradman.
In a year where England have regenerated their pace attack, Carse has taken only three Tests to take an away 10-for, a feat never managed by legendary pair James Anderson and Stuart Broad. Carse was summoned once more and one Mitchell slap too many ended in the hands of Woakes at long-off.
